case is bullshit and would never have seen the light of a courtroom if not for a massive swell of racist outrage
nobody knows what happened and there's no way to prove it one way or the other. you don't take someone's life away because his story sounds sketchy.
if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a) zimmerman initiated physical confrontation or b) zimmerman did not actually fear for his life, go ahead. but it's been obvious for months that that evidence doesn't exist. it's not illegal to be a pain in the ass over zealous neighborhood watchman. and we'll never know if the kid actually reached for his gun or actually said "you're gonna die tonight", but it's reasonable to believe, and it justifies his fear and actions in self defense
